ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
Gallim Dance is a New York City-based, non-profit contemporary dance company, founded in 2007 by choreographer and Artistic Director Andrea Miller. Miller’s award-winning work embodies fearless physicality, grounded by deep humanity and expressed through the madness and joy of the imagination.
Gallim Dance quickly caught the attention of the dance community, and Miller’s work has been acclaimed by The New York Times as “voluptuously polyglot choreography.” In 2011, the company was featured on the cover of Dance Magazine, and in 2012, the company was honored for movement innovation at a TEDx conference. Gallim Dance performs for 15,000 audience members annually in many premier local, national, and international venues.
